Paratext and multiple computers

Question

Hi Phil, I have a new question. I recently bought a new laptop because I want to have a backup laptop. Because of covid, the computer stores in my city in Malaysia are sometimes closed for weeks if there is a government mandated shutdown. So i want a back up in case there is a problem with my regular laptop. Can I have paratext installed on both laptops using the SAME PTX registration number on both laptops?

Answer 1

Yes you can. The key is to do send/receive to the internet whenever you start and finish using Paratext for the day. That way, whatever computer you use will stay in sync and not cause conflicts.

Answer 2

Yes, though you wouldn’t want to work from both computers at the same time.
